A scene from Scream 1996
Randy Meeks

Stu's flipped out! He's gone mad!

Billy Loomis

[eerily whispering]

We all go a little mad sometimes. [points gun at Randy]

Sidney Prescott

No, Billy!

Randy Meeks

Oh, ****! [gets shot, and screams in pain. Sydney runs to Randy who moans in pain.]

Billy Loomis

Anthony Perkins, Psycho. [tastes the fake blood] Mmm. Corn syrup. Same stuff they used for pigs' blood in Carrie.

Sidney Prescott

[Sydney shakes her head in shock, turns, and runs into Stu] [scared]

Stu. Help me, please.

Stu Macher

[changes his voice with the voice changer: evilly]

Surprise, Sidney.

Sidney Prescott

[pushes Stu away, trying to flee]

Unh!

Stu Macher

Ooh!

Billy Loomis

[stops Sidney with gun]

Whoa, now. Whoa. [Stu throws the voice changer to Billy] What's the matter, Sidney? You look like you've seen a ghost.

Sidney Prescott

Why are you doing this?

Stu Macher

It's all part of a game, Sidney.

Billy Loomis

It's called "Guess how I'm gonna to die?"!

Sidney Prescott

**** you!

Billy Loomis

No, no, no, no, no. We already played that game, remember? You lost.

Stu Macher

It's a fun game, Sidney. See, we ask you a question, and if you get it wrong, boo-kah! You die!

Billy Loomis

You get it right, you die.

Sidney Prescott

You're crazy, both of you.

Stu Macher

Actually, we prefer the term "psychotic."

Sidney Prescott

You'll never get away with this.

Billy Loomis

Oh, no? Tell that to Cotton Weary. You wouldn't believe how easy he was to frame.

Stu Macher

Watch a few movies, take a few notes. It was fun.

Stu Macher

Whoa! Where're you goin'?

Sidney Prescott

Why? Why did you kill my mother?

Billy Loomis

Why? Why? Did you hear that, Stu? I think she wants a motive. Well, I don't really believe in motive, Sid. I mean, did Norman Bates have a motive?

Billy Loomis

Did they ever really decide why Hannibal Lecter liked to eat people?  Don't think so!  See, it's a lot scarier when there's no motive, Sid. We did your mom a favor, Sid. That woman was a slut-bag whore...who flashed her shit all over town like she was Sharon Stone or something.

Stu Macher

Yeah, we put her out of her misery, 'cause let's face it, Sidney...your mother was no Sharon Stone, hmm?

Billy Loomis

Is that motive enough for you? [Sydney doesn't answer] Well, how about this? Your slut mother was **** my father...and she's the reason my mom moved out and abandoned me. How's that for a motive? Maternal abandonment causes serious deviant behavior. It certainly **** you up. It made you have sex with a psychopath.
